12 PHILIPPINE POMACENTRID^ 



In the Bureau of Science aquarium are four living specimens 

 which are colored as follows: Chocolate brown above and be- 

 hind, gradually passing into orange yellow on the lower parts 

 including the pectorals, anal, and ventrals; caudal fin and an- 

 terior portion of head lemon yellow; side of body traversed by 

 three bright, dark-edged, pearl white bands, the last one of 

 which covers caudal peduncle; dorsal fin chocolate brown, the 

 rayed portion narrowly edged with white; anal fin tipped 

 narrowly with brown. 



A fresh specimen, collected by Morden Brown at Tablas Is- 

 land, had the upper and posterior portions of the trunk deep 

 chocolate brown, which passed into yellowish orange on the 

 lower parts, and into reddish orange anteriorly and on head ; 

 spinous dorsal light chocolate brown, the rayed portion much 

 darker and narrowly tipped with whitish; pectoral yellowish 

 orange; ventral and anal orange red, the former with a narrow 

 brown edge anteriorly and the latter on all of the outer portion ; 

 caudal fin yellow ; three pearl white, black-edged bands traverse 

 the side of body, the last one on the caudal peduncle. 



This widely distributed species is known from Zanzibar and 

 Mozambique on the east coast of Africa, through the Indian 

 Ocean and Malay Archipelago, northward to the south of Japan 

 and China, and southward to northern Australia.
